Stevie will confirm this.

I have to say I find it amusing that Mercopress are posting stories about component parts of RAF jets, when FIFA have just publicly announced that Brazil is the most unprepared of any country in history to host the World Cup.

Filmus will invite the printer to the C24 to recount its story of dispossession from its homeland in the Malvinas.
Mujica will ban use of 3D printers so as not to upset Argentina manufacturers.
Venezuela will buy 1 and double its manufacturing capacity overnight.
Stevie will confirm this.
LOL, Anglotino !

”and from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, nobody has bothered to report what Julian Assange had to say on it.
Speaking of Assange, what happened to his christmas speech to the world?

Oh he did do a sermon. Didn't go down to well.

The Wikileaks Party doesn't need any help in being irrelevant. It is destroying its own credibility
My post @2 was very much with tongue in cheek, Perhaps the next Argie government would want a 3d printer to make 100s of handcuffs for the incumbants in the present government, You would only have to pay import duty on the 3d machine. Imagine how much money would be saved by not importing 100s of handcuffs. As TESCO would say “ every little helps ”
Jan 07th, 2014 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How cool is this....
Jan 08th, 2014 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm going to buy me a 3D printer and build myself a Tornado Fighter Jet...
...erm.......anyone got the plans?
